newport: day five

The next day we headed out to Knott's Berry Farm. I have never been there and was interested in seeing what it was all about. There were a ton of big roller coasters and crazy rides I have never seen anywhere else. But, of course, at this point I was about 8 weeks pregnant, so Halle and I hung out by the kiddie rides all day. I will say they have a great kiddie section with a lot of rides that Halle really loved (any place that has a bouncy house is a hit with her). It was an interesting park and a fun way to spend the day.
This little gem of a ride was my favorite. The kids actually have to pump themselves around the train track. Halle tried so hard to do it, but the ride operator mostly had to push her along. She sure thought she was doing it though.
This ride took everyone up to the top of a big waterfall hill and then dropped them down. That was it. And they all got soaked. It wasn't a favorite.
Our last half day in Newport took us down to Corona Del Mar to check out the beach. I could not believe the beach houses they have going on down there. Definitely all about the Benjamins. This beach was gorgeous and foggy and next time we will definitely have to spend a day down there in our suits and everything. Thank you to the Bells for a fantastic trip and end to our summer.

Thanks for your post and your wonderful Disney advice. We will DEFINITELY be buying a dress beforehand. :) We're dedicating almost an entire day (okay, maybe a half day) for characters and Disney princesses.P.S. Did you do any character dining? or the picnic for world of color?
